The other day I was hiking with my kids.
And we were struggling to reach the top of a steep trail.
They kept looking up.
“Look how far we have to go.”
I told them to look back at how far we came.
That simple shift in perspective made all the difference.
It's not just about the destination…
It’s about enjoying the journey.
And I want to show you the 23 perspectives to find true meaning in life. These gave me the perspective I needed to wake up every day invigorated and excited for life.
As entrepreneurs, we get so caught up with our goals and obsessed with where we’re going…
We forget to zoom out and see how far we’ve come.
This steals happiness.
I often tell my private clients:
“Once upon a time, you DREAMED about having the problems you have today.”
A lot of people think, "Well, I gotta get to this NEXT GOAL, then I’ll be happy."
The funny part is…
In my experience, you’ve got to get your perspective right and be happy FIRST.
Then you’ll find purpose.
I cover this in my latest video to help you dig DEEP into your motivation and identity.
It’s going to stretch you…
And make you question what you’re doing with your time, where your life’s going, and who you’re spending it with.
GOOD!
On the other side is happiness, fulfillment, motivation, purpose, and momentum like you’ve never had before.

Great read
Where does one find this book?
@@Just_Samson it’s a scam comment by someone selling a crappy pdf. Obviously whoever runs this channel isn’t smart enough to figure that out and just commented whatever “sounds good”
@@AMSUDZ how do you know this? How do I confirm what you say is true?
@@Just_Samson use you brain one google search away.
Coaches & Leaders such as Dan have the best questions because they understand the value in them. It’s a vital part of their toolset
You know it;)
At 21:15 you spoke of reinventing yourself. In 2021 I had the worst year of my life. Parental death, divorce, criminal charges. I was ready to leave earth. Instead, just as you mention, I put all that energy into starting a company. We’re in our 4th year and about to eclipse $1M in revenue.
It’s the best use of that energy;)
Sometimes I say your biggest pain is your biggest gift
Hope you enjoyed this longer video!
Drop your biggest takeaway below:)
Best takeaway is not to listen to people that haven't or aren't doing what you are and wish to do. Listen where the 'love' advice is coming from. Took me years to learn NOT to listen to family and friends that didn't understand purpose!!!
1. You cannot help/contribute other people if you don’t grow and develop yourself
2. Limit time with the people you hang out with or create a friendventory to the people who are happy or not happy with your success
3. Choose light energy,mostly people are more drawn to dark enery motivations
4. Not all mentors are found in the internet, some are near you or within your city
5. Create Deep relationships with the right people
6. Shift your mind not to focus on the destination learn to enjoy more with your progress and effort
7. Everyone wants to finish or to be no.1 but people with the best systems with their training/preparation always win
8. Retirements are silly, loving what you do creates fulfillment
9. The Meaning of life is interconnected with each one, each one has purpose,the bad and the good, specially the bad without it you couldn’t be the person who grew from those challenges.
Thank you dan!❤
Awesome video Dan! A great down-to-earth reflection on life, purpose, family, goals and faith. I am inspired!
Amazing Dan. One of the best ones you've shared for me. I appreciate the tools.
Do what you love to do. Do the things that mirror who you really are. BIG ONE - thanks for the Video Dan, you‘re adding so much value to so many!
Conversation was going so well, and then 51:58 happened. 😢
"Your frequency will be what you see"
I love that i live in a time where i have access to more millionaires and billionaires than any other point in history.
Isn’t that cool that we can talk to those people so they can give us knowledge to gain success 😮
You're an absolute legend for this one. Continuously getting better and sharing your message.
Appreciate you :)
When you know most people are more worried about what YOU think about THEM, you'll stop worrying about YOU and you can then create service to THEM and make money :) Thanks for the video.
You got it! That mindset is what 99% of people are missing unfortunately
@@danmartell Rather than, "Why am I here?" Why not, "Who am I here for...?" Thankfully I got that in my teens, then forgot it, then was reminded of it. Thank you for being 'you'. Thank you for sharing. I hope one day we'll meet or podcast together some time.
Amazing thoughts! I have been craving a shift in my life to bring me more fulfillment, which I believe will come from bringing value to others. My biggest takeaway is to get quiet, set goals and steps that align with this, and to ask for help. Thank you!
Thank you!
sooooo needed!
I love it, great answers, I always questioned what is the purpose of existence and life. Your answers clarify to some extent. Thank you
Pumped you got value🙏🙏
Thanks Dan!
Great advice Dan
Appreciate you🙏
This is great to listen to. Love your content Dan, keep making this! Brings a lot of value. I wish I could feel this motivated and have this mindset all the time.
These videos help so many of us-you’re a reminder that if you work it works. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Appreciate the kind words🙏
Out of all the advice videos ive seen in the past year this has really taken the crown for me 👑
Appreciate it!
2:30 described my state of mind perfectly.. have a feeling this is going to be a powerful video.
The longer videos🔥🔥
You know it👊
@@danmartell comment-ception!
Wow!
Over this long road of self mastery I see and feel every word. To understand the experience to answer Iam so greatfull this video at this time to answer the ? I will not quit on my future family aging ty my name is Rob
We have to take risk in life & roll the 🎲 dice believe in ourselves & our dreams #369
I'm sure you don't read these comments. You stated "Everyone is lost, just different degrees of lost". So true! Figuring out who you are....helping others - family and close friends and even strangers, just giving, be loving, have gratitude - that's where my mind set lives, My life has had purpose mostly from been becoming a mother. Life changing in a really great and good way!
I'm following you to "LEVEL UP" I love this concept!
BUT Elephant in the room. THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME WAS THE govt mandating C 19 SHOTS. I refused to take them. This divided my entire family, all my friends and then new aquaintainces.This is a MAJOR issue Dan!
If it was the worse thing then it has the potential to be the most powerful driving force to do good from it.
@@danmartell Thank you, that's a really great way to view this situation! I appreciate you replying to my comment :)
You have it wrong Dan - people are not so much lost as they are lacking in CLARITY and DISCERNMENT - that's what people are missing. If you get that straight the remainder of your life is much easier to navigate.
I'm 18 years old, trying to improve my life and live my dream life. any advice I'm trying to be a dentist because It is my family's dream but i also want to retire them. Life has been very hard and i am very lost not knowing what the next right step everyday is i have so much time available i don't know how to use it wisely. Weekdays i go to the gym and everyday i get sunlight in the morning and i try to listen to a podcast every day that teachs me something and i try to read but i don't know what book would really help with the situation i am right now i also want to try and up my life with putting stress to the side and i want people to feel my presence. My name is john BTW
Anything helps :)
What's your dream? I'm not saying you should abandon your family's dream, but I'm just wondering about your own goals, if you had the freedom to choose them yourself.
Start with “think and grow rich”
It’s a good stepping stone
@@stephanbranczyk8306 My dream is to accomplish theirs
What are the 49 seconds for?
Teasing the video:)
Appealing to ego on your headlines? Why would I want to be ahead of 99% of people?
Why wouldn't you?
@@KassidyWarren I asked first 😂
Because your enough@KassidyWarren
So you can help them grow too
@@KassidyWarren read the burnout society, please read it or at least do a little research, you need to get a higher and more critical perspective
Without God, there is no lasting, meaningful purpose for us.
I have a deeply fulfilling and meaningful life and I impact the world and people around me in a positive way and I don't believe in any of the gods, yours included. Try finding some internal meaning instead of offloading that responsibility to an external make believe authority. I am so very hopeful you'll experience the joy and fulfillment of that my friend.
@@KristopherHesson It all comes to nothing without God, no matter our accomplishments in this brief, fleeting life. Disbelief will not prevent God existing.
"Purposes for me comes next to the wrost thing that ever happened to you" damm that hit me. I am in a place of that hopefully I find the meaning.
I'm interested in investing, but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any advice or contacts who can help me out?
Investing can be complex, so it's smart to get professional guidance when building your financial portfolio.
It's a great idea to have a conversation with financial advisors like Naomi Dean to reshape your portfolio.
I spread out my $25k portfolio across various markets to diversify my investments.
That's awesome! I ended up making a net profit of about $115k by investing in high dividend yield stocks, ETFs, and equity.
Naomi Dean stands out from other brokers because of her realistic approach, unlike those who often set unattainable targets and fail to deliver. She's truly unique!
For me I realised I had 3 things so far preventing me from having the life I want. 1. Fear. 2. Lack of clarity. 3. Managing large goals & organisation. Still working on these areas but much better than before. Never be too hard on yourself because sometimes the obstacles may not only be psychological but sometimes its a skill you need to learn.
Hello Dan Martel. I really want you to read my message.
I consider you as one of my Teachers.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us (hugely beneficial for my life). I really appreciate your video and every piece of information that you're sharing with us.
I want to have a conversation with you (get consulting from you), but i think it not possible.
I have recently graduated from university (majoring in Economics and Management in ICT phere). And working for a company as a graphic designer that helps me to cover my needs as a recently graduated student. I learned it to be able to make money during my university years and also to not become unemployed after graduation (it was also my hobby). And it worked.
But I want to start my own business and wanne be successful in the sphere. I have started some online businesses during my university years (online book selling market, online educational platform "teaching languages to students").
Nowadays I am also trying to pursue my master's degree in abroad, applying to some universities. The degree that I am applying to is economics and management. I hope this major plays an important role in my future goals that I will acquire some knowledge and skills needed for my future career.
One of the most important reasons why I am planning to study abroad is because I want to have more opportunities and also acquire better knowledge for my future. To be able to start my own business I realized that i have to work for a company first and aquire the skills needed for me to be able to run my own business. Because I tried some businesses and I failed to be able to make them successful. But I am not gonna stop.
At the place where I am living now there are also many opportunities but it almost impossible to start my business without enough capital to scale it up. So, I have to land a good, well paying job in Economics or management sphere.
For me it seems like I am doing so many things right now at once that I don't know how to manage and fix. Because if I stop working, I am not able to support myself financial. If i stop preparing for my masters degree which is also taking a lot of time ( learning economics, studying to get some certificates that are required to get accepted to university and win a scholarship from that university), I will not be able enter a high ranking university.
I can't see the future in graphic design only since it's not the future I want to live in.
What is your advice for me at the moment?
What things do I have to pay attention first right now as a recently graduate?
If it's possible I really wish to have personal conversations with you.
Thanks Jakhongir!
If you want, you’re invited to hike with me, every Tuesday in Kelowna, BC Canada.
@@danmartell
Thank you so much for this. Really appreciated! But unfortunately I am living in another country right now (Uzbekistan). So it's impossible for me.
Could we please have a video chat or something like that?
I believe and know that will be so valuable.
Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and My family $14,120.47 weekly profit our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!
As a beginner what do I need to do? How can I invest, on which platform? If you know any please share.
Investing $15,000 and received $174,000
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Mrs Anna ) so many people have
recommended highly about her and am
just starting with her 😊 from United States
Please who is Mrs Anna
Please who is this This sounds so good andI would like to
be a party to this, is there any wayl can
speak with her?
Thank you Dan:
Before one can try to become successful, one should try to be a worthy human being, and then success will come automatically.
I really enjoyed this. Listening over the past few days while getting ready for work. You are very relatable. Thanks
Thank you
I have learned from this video more than I have from any book or any entrepreneur
🙏
Another great video
It's beneficial to start spending 10 minutes each day to set clear goals-it's the first step to getting ahead of the pack.
100% goals are everything
After watching the whole video, it seems that your thoughts, actions and story resonates withislam. Just guessin'.
Just read buy back your time. This randomly popped up in my feed and I’m glad I clicked on it. This has to be some of the best information I’ve ever gotten from a video
Pumped you got value!
What was your biggest takeaway from the book?
@@danmartell the importance of planning a productive week towards the 7 pillars of life. It gives a consistent guidance and consistent action on the things I truly want out of life. Thanks for taking the time to craft such a perfect book man
Um.. 2 mins in and he just explained where I am in life and how I feel. Definitely found the right video.
Glad you found it... rooting for you!!!
Thanks Dan, I thought this was one of your best videos I’ve seen and I think you made all great points. I thought the piece about mentors being all around you and approaching people in your community rather than famous people was a particularly good one and plan to take action on it. Thanks again.
There's brilliance all around us, proof is in the fact that your city exists :)
Its almost difficult to watch this because people are not able to change. but i am willing and ready. I will take some of this advise and hopefully use it to get better.
You got this💪
I am 32 years old last month. I work for a job collections loan advisor. I just don't like working for another person. I want my own life but I am terrible at most things. I am in my second year as a full time college student. Its slow and its boring but I will just keep pushing along
Start a side hustle working 5-9pm / every day.
1 hour 8 minutes and 48 seconds -- time well spent watching this video.
Thank you!

This is hands down the best video I've ever seen
Appreciate the kind words brother🙏
Thank you I've learned more on this channel at age 42 now that I honestly wished I knew and totally changed my perspective on everything. Wish I knew this great advice back in 2000 at age 19
All good... now you know, run with it!
@@danmartell in the process
Ive never seen your podcast but today this showed up on my home page, I'm 4 minutes in and damn do i feel like you're speaking directly to me. This is looking like a great podcast ❤
I use to be YOU... glad you resonated.
This podcast was such 🔥!!
I have shared it with my kids and my family. Thanks for contributing in the way you do.
Appreciate the kind words!!
I need to find a mentor to help Mr navigate this small business world. My auto detailing service struggles 😢
Just search for youtube channels with people how to run a car detailing business. Those people can be virtual mentors through their content.
I just found this podcast and I like it
Thx Sergio!
Lots of great advice here but it’s so frustrating for me as the person that is the biggest issue and brings we down owns 40% of my business. I can’t get him to open his mind to letting go and letting the team execute. He won’t let go of the small business mindset of being involved in everything and has a real Jekyll and Hyde personality. Would love a video dealing with problematic business partners when you are not in a position to buy them out or to sell.
If he reads, get him a copy of my book… it’ll help him.
Or he can’t be helped, then help yourself by moving on.
This was a great video, thank you so much! I took pages of notes.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the advice, it was a great video 👍
🙏🙏

Very useful information, thanks a lot Dan, Dan the Man🙂
Forget the mainstream stuff and get the ebook money borlest, It's the only thing that works
This was really good. Dan I listened the first time it popped in my feed this time. 😂 But to hear it the way you put it, was great it highlighted some limits ive had and not realized. In addition to where I doubted myself, especially with my woo woo gifts and what I "think" is right. On ny calendar Vision time has been popping up at specific times and listening to this today, I see a better way to use this time. Thank you ❤
Solid video keep up the quality work
Heck I might have ADHD, that sounds like my routine to focus and one week no sugar HUGE difference. This whole video is Soo valuable. Thank you🙏🏽
Yup! Game changer
Totally get the ADD thing.. Timers ROCK as do headphones and specific music/frequencies!!
The only way to make a living in today’s environment is to work for yourself.
🏆
Great vid thanks for sharing
Engaging
The ADHD part got me!
it is a life lesson
Yup
❤ Just Win ! ❤

Feeling Lost and Fulfillment: The speaker begins by acknowledging that everyone feels lost to some degree. Fulfillment comes from knowing you are enough and finding meaning in doing what you are meant to do.
Time Management: Wealthy people value time more than money, spending money to save time rather than the other way around.
Self-Belief and Action: Belief in oneself and taking proactive steps towards one’s goals are emphasized. The speaker encourages betting on oneself and creating a future where one's passion becomes a source of income.
Purpose and Meaning: Purpose is often found next to one’s greatest challenges and involves helping others through or avoid similar hardships. Meaning comes from serving others and knowing you are doing what you were meant to do.
Living Authentically: The importance of making decisions for oneself, not based on others’ expectations, is highlighted. The speaker suggests asking what truly makes one happy and pursuing that.
Mentorship: Finding mentors locally and leveraging their knowledge is crucial. Being a good mentee involves being prepared and showing appreciation for the mentor's advice.
Handling Toxic People: Creating space from toxic individuals and surrounding oneself with supportive people is advised. The speaker suggests minimizing exposure to negativity and focusing on positive relationships.
Goal Setting: The speaker outlines a process for goal setting that includes listening to one's heart, setting annual goals, identifying resources, and connecting rewards to achievements.
Motivation and Focus: Motivation can come from dark or light energy, with light energy (inspiration to help others) being more powerful. Focus strategies include eliminating distractions and creating an environment conducive to concentration.
Technology and Children: Technology itself is not bad; it’s about how it’s used. Parents should teach children how to use technology constructively and build their self-esteem.
Retirement and Purpose: The speaker views retirement as unnecessary if one loves what they do. Instead of waiting for retirement to live fully, they suggest integrating passion and work throughout life.
Faith and Spirituality: The speaker believes in a Creator and sees life’s purpose as experiencing and evolving through interactions with others. They encourage aligning with one's Creator to receive guidance and blessings.
I outreach to entrepreneurs on Instagram and came across you, definitely a fan
Wow the values from this video. Thank you for sharing, Dan!
My pleasure!
Turning off notifications, and working first thing in the morning fasted with noise cancelling and coffee definitely are my favorite productivity tips☕🔥😊💪
💯💯💯
2023 I was finally diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. Had chip on my shoulder that the previous coaches were part of big scam industry because I felt taken abandoned and was not "coach" from the difference coaching I paid for got just more and more in debt. Finally listening to Dan story deliver how to challenge his own beliefs with ADHD can be successful when we create our own rules as guidelines to succeed... So much more. Thank You Dan Namaste 🙏🏼
Thx brother.
Simple rule in life…. Don’t blame anyone for your situation.
^ this keeps the Locus of Control internal where we can work with it.
